S7Ep11| CELEBRATING BLACK BRITISH THEATRE - a conversation with Omar F. Okai
Hello and welcome to AKADi Magazine's Connecting Communities Podcast where we spotlight Ghanaians making transformative change in their communities.
Listen to Omar F. Okai, dancer, choreographer, director and founder of the six-year Black British Theatre Awards (BBTAs) - a platform that recognises the talents of Black British creatives involved in theatre - from the actors right through to those behind the scenes.
And in this two-part series, Omar explains how some of his family members played a pivotal role in shaping Black theatre and performance history. And he explains how his past career as a chef helped him to excel in dance school.
This year's BBTAs is on SUNDAY 26TH OCTOBER 2025 at Piccadilly Theatre 16 Denman Street, London, W1D 7DY
